Frequently Asked Questions - MKC2150AS JENN-AIR

Can I install this microwave above a built-in oven?

Yes, the MKC2150AS is UL listed for installation above electric or gas ovens up to 30 inches wide. A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.6 cm) is required between the top of the lower oven and the bottom of the microwave opening.

What are the exact dimensions of the cutout opening?

The height must be between 17 inches (43.2 cm) and 17.5 inches (43.5 cm). The width depends on the trim kit: 27 inches (68.6 cm) or 30 inches (76.2 cm). The minimum depth is 20 inches (50.8 cm) if the outlet is flush, or 22 inches (55.9 cm) otherwise.

What type of electrical outlet is required?

A 3-prong grounded outlet, 120 V, 60 Hz, 15 or 20 amps. A dedicated circuit with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Extension cords are not allowed.

Is the trim kit included?

Yes, the MKC2150AS comes with a trim kit (frame) for built-in installation. The dimensions of the frame are provided in the installation manual.

How do I clean the microwave?

Use a damp cloth with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface. For the interior, a mixture of water and vinegar can be used.

Does this microwave have a turntable?

Yes, like most built-in microwaves, the MKC2150AS is equipped with a turntable for even cooking. If yours does not rotate, check that it is properly positioned.

Can I use this microwave without the trim kit?

No, the trim kit is essential for built-in installation. Without it, the microwave cannot be properly secured and may pose safety risks.

Yes, most Jenn-Air models include a child lock feature. Consult the owner's manual to learn how to activate it (usually by holding the Stop or Lock button for a few seconds).

What is the power output of the microwave?

The power output is not specified in the installation manual. For a standard built-in model, it is typically between 1000 and 1200 watts. Check the label on the appliance.

Can I install this microwave in a cabinet without an oven below?

Yes, installation in a cabinet alone is possible. The minimum distance from the floor to the cutout is 36 inches (91.4 cm). Ensure the surrounding cabinets can open freely with at least 4 cm of clearance below the microwave.

Location Requirements

The microwave oven may be installed over a built-in oven. If installing over a built-in oven, make sure there is a minimum of 3'' (7.6 cm) between the top of the lower oven cutout and the microwave oven cutout floor.

The microwave oven may also be installed in a cabinet by itself (without a built-in oven below). The minimum distance from the floor to the cutout floor is 36^ (91.4 cm).

Make sure the surrounding cabinetry has clearance to open and close freely. Allow a clearance of at least 1%^16 (4.0 cm) below the cutout floor (3" [7.6 cm] for installation above a built-in oven), and a clearance of at least 2" (5.1 cm) above the cutout opening.

A. Upper cabinet

D. Lower cabinets

B. Microwave oven cutout

E. Floor

C. Lower oven cutout

Required Cutout Dimensions

For minimum depth requirements, see chart.

A. Trim kit frame overhang
B. Cutout for lower oven
C. Recommended region for receptacle location (no less than 7^ [17.8 cm] to the right of cutout centerline)
D.Cutout centerline

Receptacle Location	Minimum Depth

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

A 120V 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A or 20 A electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker.

Recommended:

A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
